"Brother Long, please don't do this..."
Fearing that Yang Shenglong would continue to misunderstand, Wang Qian hurriedly pushed Yang Shenglong away, who was leaning in to look at the ledger. "I'm not suspecting you of tampering with the ledger, nor am I saying that you made mistakes in the accounts. I'm just curious why the prices of the things you bought are lower than those in the market?"
"So this is what you meant?"
Yang Shenglong rolled his eyes, and his anxious expression calmed down.
He punched Wang Qian on the shoulder, laughing and crying at the same time, "I buy much more of everything than others, right? Then I thought I could bargain, so I would always haggle with the shopkeeper before buying. That way, buying more will save you a lot of money."
After saying that, he gave a simple, honest smile.
"Brother Long, you're so kind!"
Wang Qian was a little touched. "If it weren't for your help, I really don't know how I would have been able to manage."
"As long as you believe in me, that's enough!"
Yang Shenglong stuffed the rest of the money into his hand, saying, "I've bought almost everything you asked me to. Everyone's helping with washing vegetables and cooking, so I should go and help too."
"etc!"
Wang Qian grabbed Yang Shenglong and stuffed a hundred yuan into his hand, saying, "Brother Long, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't think it's too little."
"No, I can't accept this!"
Yang Shenglong immediately stuffed the money back into his hands. "It's only right that I help you. I'm very touched that you trust me so much, but if you give me money, it means you're looking down on me!"
"Brother Long, please listen to me..."
Wang Qian wanted to patiently persuade him, but before he could finish speaking, Yang Shenglong interrupted him, saying, "Don't say anything more. Just call me anytime if you need anything. If not, I'll go help you."
After saying that, Yang Shenglong fled as if he were running away.
Before leaving, he turned back and glared at Wang Qian, warning him, "If you do this again, don't blame me for turning against you."
The words sounded like a threat, but Wang Qian only felt warmth.
The area in front of Wang Qian's house was incredibly noisy at the moment.
There is a long-standing custom in rural areas that whenever a family has a funeral or a wedding, people from the neighborhood will take the time to help.
Wang Qian was going to hold a full-month celebration for his son, and almost everyone in the neighborhood came.
However, the number of people who came to help far exceeded Wang Yuanguang, Lu Aihua and others' expectations.
According to Wang Yuanguang's estimate, there will be at most about thirty people coming to help.
On the actual day of washing vegetables and slaughtering pigs, a couple hundred people actually showed up.
Not only the surrounding villagers who were close to Wang Qian's family, but also many people who were not familiar with Wang Qian's family before came.
There were even people in the next village, people whose names Wang Qian didn't know.
It's easy to imagine how high Wang Qian's reputation is in the surrounding villages.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, it would be good if twenty or thirty people came.
"Brother Li, this is heavy, let me help you carry it!"
Seeing someone helping to move a sofa, Wang Qian immediately went over to them.
But before he could reach out, another person pulled him away, saying, "Today you're the host. Leave the work to us. You just need to watch from the sidelines. If there's anything you need to do, just say the word."
As he spoke, the man immediately stepped forward to help, leaving Wang Qian standing to the side.
Wang Qian was speechless.
When it comes to your own family matters, others are more enthusiastic than you are about them.
Of course, this is also due to custom.
Generally, when the host family has a wedding or funeral, everyone is busy, and the host family only needs to plan and strategize; they don't need to do everything themselves.
Helpless, Wang Qian had no choice but to go upstairs to help take care of the child.
"Qian, who did you invite?"
As soon as she entered the bedroom, Lin Xiaoyu asked eagerly.
Nearly a month after being discharged from the hospital, she has almost fully recovered.
If it weren't for her in-laws insisting on a full month, she felt she could have been working like everyone else long ago.
"I didn't invite anyone except for relatives, friends, and neighbors nearby," Wang Qian said truthfully.
"You really didn't invite a single one?" Lin Xiaoyu asked, half believing it.
"What? You still don't believe me?" Wang Qian retorted.
I think...
Lin Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said, "If it's someone you have a good relationship with and think you can have a long-term relationship with, you can say so!"
She paused, then added meaningfully, "Including some of your classmates from university."
"A college classmate?"
Wang Qian was slightly dazed for a moment.
When it comes to college classmates, the longer the time goes by, the fewer people there seem to be who were once close to him and who are worth maintaining a long-term relationship with.
Upon further reflection, he realized with even greater sorrow that perhaps there were none left!
However, upon closer inspection of the face before him, which was all too familiar, and those clear, bright eyes without a trace of impurity, his momentary daze quickly vanished, replaced by a resolute expression.
"unnecessary!"
Wang Qian shook his head seriously and earnestly, "My world may need more people, but with you all, it's already more than enough!"
"Ah...oh...wow..."
Wang Niangui, nestled in Lin Xiaoyu's arms, uttered a tender, childish voice at just the right moment.
That wasn't crying; it was as if she wanted to communicate with them.
A pair of bright eyes blinked, so lively they seemed to speak.
"Be a good boy, Xiao Nian!"
Lin Xiaoyu gently comforted her.
Wang Qian smiled knowingly and quietly left the bedroom.
Although Wang Qian didn't do everything himself after a busy day, he was still exhausted.
After everything was almost ready and everyone went home to rest, he and his parents were still tidying up some remaining chores, and they were busy until midnight before they could finally rest.
